THE COSTLIEST FOOTBALL TRANSFERS IN THE YEAR 1996.

In the summer transfer of the year 1996, four footballers were bought by four clubs for a then total amount of just 35, thirty five million pounds. But they become living football legends and ICONS as well. 1) Alan Shearer was sold by Blackburn Rovers to Newcastle United for a sum of 15. Fifteen Million Pounds. 2) Ronaldo was sold by P.S.V. Eindhoven to Barcelona. For a sum of 13, thirteen Million Pounds. 3) Zinedine Zidane as sold by Bordeaux to Juventus for a sum of 3,5 three and a half million pounds. 4) Clarence Seedorff was sold from Sampdoria to Real Madrid for a sum of 3.5 , three and a half million pounds. Now Alan shearer has scored 260, wo hundred and sixty goals in the English Premier League, it is a record or the most goals in England. Ronaldo is a two time world cup winner. Zinedine Zidane is a world cup winner as well as a European cup winner. Clarence Seedorff has won the champion league with four European clubs. Ronaldo is the only footballer ever to play four giant clubs, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and A.C. Milan. Ronaldo is the only footballer in history to win the Pin chichi award for both Barcelona and Real Madrid . I really do wonder what would these four footballers be costing clubs today, and what would be their wages today?

ALAN SHEARER IS THE ONLY PLAYER TO SCORE OVER AHUNDRED GOALS FOR TWO IFFERENT CLUBS.

Alan Shearer has gone and scored a total of 260, two hundred and sixty goals, during his glittering career. And he very well knew how to score goals as his record of 260, two hundred and sixty goals still stands. But he also becomes the only footballer to score over a hundred goals with two different clubs. 1) He scored 112, one hundred and twelve goals with Blackburn Rovers. 2) He scored a total of 148, one hundred and forty eight goals for Newcastle United. Grand total 260 goals.

ONLY TWO FOOTBALLERS HAVE SCORED TWENTY GOALS FOR FIVE YEARS IN A ROW.

Now according to the record books of the English Premier League so far only two footballers have cored twenty goals or more in each season for a period five years in a row. And the two footballers are very good strikers and re really lethal finishers of the ball. The footballers are as below. 1) Thierry Henry of France and Arsenal. 2) Sergio Aguero of Argentina and Manchester City. But what s alarming here is that not a single English striker has ever managed to equal this record. And in other words the English strikers are not that good I must say. Eve strikers like the following . 1) Alan Shearer. 2) Wayne Rooney. 3) Andy Cole. 4) Teddy Sheringham. 5) Harry Kane. Al have failed to break tis record.

LIONEL MESSI IS THE ONLY FOOTBALLER TO SCORE OVER THIRTY GOALS FOR SEVEN YEARS.

Lionel Messi has now become the first footballer in Spain to go and score well over 30, thirty goals in a season . And to do it a total of seven years in all. Cristiano Ronaldo has not done it so farP Some famous footballers have scored thirty odd goals only once like Thierry Henry, Andy Cole, Robin Van Persie, Alan Shearer has done it twice.

FEW FOOTBALLERS TO CROSS TE MAGICAL FIGURE OF OVER THIRTY GOALS IN A SEASON.

There have been only four footballers to score over thirty goals in one English Premier League.1) 1) Andy Cole. 34 Goals for Newcastle United in 1994. 2) Alan shearer 31 goals for Blackburn Rovers 1994/1995. 3) Alan Shearer 34 Goals for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. 4) Cristiano Ronaldo. 31. Goals Manchester United. 20007/20008. 5) Luis Suarez. Liverpool 31. Goals.2012/2013. Please kindly note Mohammed Salah has only scored 30, thirty goals so fat for Liverpool this yrear.

HARRY KANE HAS NOW SCORED A HUNDRED GOALS FOR TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS.

Harry Kane has now gone and scored a total of 100,a hundred goals in his E.P.L career for Tottenham Hotspurs. That long awaited goal came with the help of a penalty, in the game played against Liverpool on 4/2/2018. Harry Kane also becomes the 27, twenty seventh player in the E.P.L history to reach hat magical figure of a hundred goals in the E.P.L. Harry Kane also becomes the second fastest player to reach this figure, Alan Shearer played 124 games for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. Harry Kane has played 141 games for Tottenham hotspurs alone.

HOW MANY YEARS DID IT TAKE WAYNE ROONEY AND ALAN SHEARER TO SCORE TWO HUNDRED GOALS?

Now that Wayne Rooney has scored a total of two hundred goals in the E.P.l. It was quite lonely for Alan shearer up there as he was till now the only footballer to score 200, two hundred goals in the E.P.L. But let us see how any years it took each of them to reach this magical number. Alan Shearer took ten years to reach this figure of 200, two hundred goals, he ended with 260, two hundred and sixty goals. While Wayne Rooney scored his first goal for Everton in the year 2002. he has taken 15,, fifteen years. While Lionel Messi has now scored over 500, five hundred goals for Barcelona. While Cristiano Ronaldo has scored over 600, six hundred goals.

REAL MADRID REJECT SEVENTY MILLIONS FROM JUVENTUS FOR MATEO KOVACIC.

As the football world have lost their brains and their soul as well, and gone crazy I must say. Clubs are refusing a amount of 114, one hundred and fourteen million pounds for a single player. Now the latest craziness is that Real Madrid have rejected a sum of 70, seventy million pounds for the Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic. Now he is not a starting player as Casemeiro is very well ahead of him at Real Madrid. Just to remind you that Mateo Kovacic was rejected at 70, seventy million pounds, that will make him costlier then what Real Madrid paid for the French play maker Zinedine Zidane did cost when he joined Real Madrid from Juventus in Italy. So today what would Alan Shearer , Kaka, Zinedine Zidane be costing , they were all costliest footballers once upon a time.

THERE ARE ONLY FOUR FOOTBALLERS TO SCORE OVER TWENTY GOALS FOR THREE YEARS IN A ROW.

It may come as a big surprise to many considering the many famous a very highly paid footballers who are now playing in the E.P.L over the years. But there are only Four footballers to score twenty or more goals each year for three years in a row. They are as follows . 1) Alan Shearer. 2) Thierry Henry. 3) Ruud Van Nistelrooy 4) Harry Kane..

Thierry Henry played 258 Games to score 175 Gals. Wayne Rooney played 358 Games to score 176 Goals, about a hundred games more to Thierry Henry.

WILL ZINEDINE ZIDANE BE A BIG SUCCESS AT REAL MADRID.?

The Real Madrid board and fans may be expecting a little to much from their former playmaker Zinedine Zidane. As a player he was very good , but will he be a good manager so soon and bring back the glory days at Real Madrid ? This is a very hard question to answer as all good players were not at all good managers , for example Alan Shearer and Roy Keane are classic examples of very good players who became bad managers. And just because Pep Guardiola and Luis enrique two former Barcelona managers became very successful managers with both winning a treble titles. For Zinedine Zidane to do the same it is next to impossible. As at Barcelona their three strikers are all scoring well over 40 forty goals in a year at regular . intervals. Real Madrid play as person leave everything to Cristiano Ronaldo to score the goals, while Barcelona play as a team, and so get results.

A STREET OUTSIDE EWOOD PARK IS NAMED AFTER ALAN SHEARER.

A street outside Blackburn Rovers is now called THE ALAN SHEARER WAY.

Damien Duff the footballer from Ireland, who played many years in the E.P.L. In the year 1995 Damien Duff played with Blackburn Rovers, along with Alan Shearer they won the E. P..L.This is the only time a small club has won the E.P.L. He played for Chelsea as well as Fulham in England. But now he is thirty six years old and his best years are well and truly over. But he signed for his hometown club Shamrock Rovers in Dublin. But what is so nice about him is that he has told his club that his regular weekly salary at the club should be given straight away to Charity, but what is not very clear which particular charity it will now go to. What nice block indeed.

In the year 1992 the E.P.L top goalscorer Alan Shearer was was to join Manchester United . But Alex Ferguson and Manchester United took far to long to make up their minds. Alan Shearer then went and joined Blackburn Rovers, and in the year 1995 Blackburn Rovers won the E.P.L title, with goals from alan Shearer and Damien Duff. Blackburn Rovers are the only club besides Manchester United, Arsenal , Liverpool and Chelsea to win the E.P.L

SOME BIG TRANSFER MISSES OVER THE YEARS.

Over the years there have been some very huge transfer misses by some managers of experience.The reason was over a few things , like money and terms or the player not getting a work permit. Two famous players to miss out a Arsenal career were Peter Cech and Yaya Toure. 1) Yaya Toure to Arsenal in 2003. 2)Michael Ladrup to Liverpool in 1983. 3)Zalatin Ibrahimovic . To Arsenal in 2000. 4)Andreiy Shevchenko. West Ham United in 1994. 5) Dider Drogba From Le Mans to Arsenal in 2002. 6) Alan Shearer . Southampton to Manchester United. in 1992. 7)Cristiano Ronaldo .

In 1995. 10) Diego Maradona > Argentina Juniors to Sheffield United in 1978. But some footballers had to much of a ego and r3efused a trial as well.

THE FIRST CLUB TO WIN THE E.P.L. SINCE 1992.

The E.P.L. championship as it is known today , started in the year 1992. And from 1992 to 2008, the champions have always been the big four clubs . That is Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. But in the year 1994-95 Blackburn Rovers became the first small club to win the E.P.L championship, and till today no small club has ever won the title.
This win by Blackburn Rovers was mainly due to the services of Alan Shearer , he was later bought that year by NewCastle United for a world record at that time.
